Elvis Costello says writing about music is the same as dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to do.

Mother's Day Concert featuring Women of Note

A liveconcert inspired by Women of Noteis being held in Perth on Mother's Day, Sunday 10th May 3:30pm.

The music from the book - finally a chance to hear it performed live by world class musicians!

Hear the triumph and tragedy of some of Australia's most inventive and overlooked composers. Three generations of composers will be performed by Perth superstars Ashley William Smith (clarinet), Irina Vasilieva (piano), Lindsay Vickery (bass clarinet) and Laura McGrogan (cello). The program includes Elena Kats-Chernin, Margaret Sutherland, Miriam Hyde, Anne Boyd and Cat Hope. It is music that continues to stun me with its beauty and power.

So come and celebrate the special women in your life and be inspired by music from Australian women composers. Enjoy high tea as I present the music and stories from my book Women of Note.

I am joining forces with Irina Vasilieva director of the popular Cappuccino Concerts for this event. Their concerts sell-out so be quick for tickets: www.cappuccino-concerts.com.au

This one-off concert is being held in the iconic showroom at Snadens Pianos in Nedlands. It will be an exotic Mother's Day experience you (and I!) will remember for a long time - I hope you can come!
